Flashback Friday: Designer Bedding Before & After Photos

Check out these before and after photos of three bedrooms in a loyal RBI client’s downtown Austin home. Remodel selections throughout the condo like new luxurious wool carpeting, metallic accents, and contemporary furniture combine to create a clean-line and edgy look. Once the construction side of this remodel was complete and modern finishes were in place, our client wanted bedding that would exude those same style factors.

Our client collects beautiful art from all over the world, so designing spaces that draw focus to the artwork in each room was a top priority. Robin decided to design fully custom bedding to continue the clean line style and further enhance the artwork in each bedroom. The subdued colors of the new bedding complement the details of the art and amplify the drama of the each painting. Each coverlet is accented by custom pillows and bolsters made by wrapping soft, rich fabrics around poly-down blend forms, which provide ultimate comfort while maintaining their shape. The previous bedding somewhat concealed the modern platform bed frames, but the new bedding accompanies them like a luxurious dream! This bedding is custom-sewn with split corners that allow the fabric to fall flat and neat at each edge. Gussets were also used, so that through the split of each corner all that is visible is the same bedding material. These two techniques in conjunction create a finished look with the likes of a five-star resort.

The before bedding in our client’s son’s room generated an overuse of orange that detracted from the artwork. This family consists of a few devout University of Texas fans, so we understand how this happened! The new bedding was inspired by deeper color details in the triptych panel painting centered above the bed.

Bedding in soft blues, greens and silver produce a faint feminine look in our client’s daughter’s bedroom. We also re-positioned the art work to center it over the bed for a consistent look from room-to-room.

Our client selected this handsome platform frame in Europe and we think it looks right at home with this new custom bedding! Accent pillows in burnt orange atop the bed and contemporary chair were created to bring a little UT into this master bedroom and create perfection for our client.

Can you believe the impact custom bedding alone can have? Please comment below to share your thoughts! Thank you for designing with Robin Bond Interiors!
